The moose sculpture is designed by Norwegian artist Linda Bakke, and is made out of stainless, polished steel. The sculpture was made in parts in China and transported in pieces to Norway where it was assembled during the summer.

But the gigantic moose is not just there for your veiwing pleasure. It’s positioned by one of the most trafficked roads in Hedmark, and its real purpose is to hopefully make you stop, take a picture of the sculpture, rest your eyes, and break up the monotonically road between Oslo and Trondheim. Hopefully you’ll wake up and won’t hit a real living moose as you make your way through Eastern Norway.
